Cave du Marmandais 2014 Château la Bastide Red (Côtes du Marmandais)

Country: France / Château la Bastide
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Southwest France
Winery: Cave du Marmandais / Côtes du Marmandais

For its youth, this is a rich, smooth wine. The tannins, even from the Malbec in the blend, are full, rounded and already integrated. Acidity and an attractive smokiness give this wine its already-drinkable character. Drink from the end of 2015.
